Aarikka

Aarikka is a Finnish lifestyle design brand known for round shapes, crisp Scandinavian style and wood.

It all began with buttons. And it all started with a real need: Kaija Aarikka, then a textile arts student at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki, was unable to find buttons to go with a woollen garment she had designed. So she made them herself. From these fun and original buttons the story quickly went on to include jewellery. And February 24, 1954 went down as the day that Aarikka was born.
